Key points

• One television broadcast captured Dream star Angel Reese pointing straight ahead and seemingly saying, "Get him, right there."
• Another WNBA game was momentarily interrupted by an apparent green sex toy being thrown onto the court Thursday night when the Sparks host the Dream.
• It appeared that someone threw a towel over the supposed sex toy before Sparks forward Cameron Brink kicked it toward the out-of-bounds line.
• One California-based reporter posted a video of the alleged perpetrator fleeing the scene, with the man – wearing a home Lakers No.
• Remarked security guard and other staffers at Crypto.com Arena trailed in his direction before the five-second video concluded.

Meanwhile, the alleged culprit was apprehended, according to The Athletic, and this incident comes a little more than one year after the league dealt with a number of similar situations.

With 2: 59 left in the third quarter of Atlanta's 124-88 win and Los Angeles' Jihyun Park at the free-throw line, a green object landed in her vicinity and bounced past the forward.

While one referee blew her whistle before pointing toward the object, park immediately looked in the direction the object came from.

"Something was thrown onto the court, " the broadcaster remarked, "and security has made quick work of this."

Notably, an apparent security staffer ultimately took the towel and the object off the court.

One California-based reporter posted a video of the alleged perpetrator fleeing the scene, with the man – wearing a home Lakers No. 77 Luka Doncic jersey – even bumping into a security guard while he exited.

Notably, the league dealt with a rash of similar incidents last summer spanning multiple games, with one fan being arrested for his actions at a Dream home game. A Crypto group asserted to have orchestrated the stunts.

For context, the WNBA remarked last August that any fan caught throwing objects onto the court faced stiff penalties, and plenty within the league condemned those interrupting games in stated manner.

"The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game authorities, and fans, " the league stated last August. "In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities."

In short, apparent sex toy thrown onto court during another WNBA game – and is the central thread here, and readers can expect follow-up reporting as the picture becomes clearer.
